Ed. note: Brady doesn’t have opposable thumbs and can’t type well. This article is transcribed from an interview in which we sat him down to get his take on the recent growth at Snap! Raise. He was rewarded for his contribution with several treats and ample pets.<\/p>\n

Snap! Raise Growth<\/h2>\n

In my three years here at Snap! Raise, I’ve seen the company grow a lot.\u00a0In our mission<\/a>\u00a0to support youth activities across the country by creating a smarter way to fundraise, I was brought onto the team to focus on office culture, morale building, and the occasional food recovery initiative.<\/p>\n

2018 was our biggest year at Snap! Raise yet \u2013 by a huge margin.<\/p>\n

Our Seattle team at HQ has grown by around 25 percent, now totaling over 133 employees, while our nationwide sales team has grown by 19 percent.<\/p>\n

Most notably, our HQ Dogforce increased by well over 300 percent (which includes my junior intern, Maverick, whom I\u2019m currently grooming as my prot\u00e9g\u00e9).<\/p>\n

All of this\u00a0has contributed\u00a0to a\u00a03,000 percent growth<\/a>\u00a0rate for the company, while I\u2019ve been nearly 30 percent better at holding my bladder indoors.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting that\u00a0we are starting to get attention in the tech industry<\/a>, too. Our incredible growth has earned us a spot on the\u00a0Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list<\/a>\u00a0as the 46th\u00a0<\/sup>fastest-growing technology company in North America, and the 2nd\u00a0<\/sup>fastest-growing technology company in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

We completed a remodel of our office, expanding into all three floors of our South Lake Union space. I worked super hard with our COM (Canine Office Manager), Boone, on the improvements.<\/p>\n

We launched our online apparel team store,\u00a0Snap! Store<\/a>, to make sure all the kids we work with look sharp.<\/p>\n

Uncle Cole won an impressive award on behalf of Snap! Raise as the\u00a0EY Entrepreneur of the Year for Workflow Optimization in the Pacific Northwest<\/a>; I won an impressive award for my outstanding contributions to workplace happiness.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, our higher education advancement platform, Snap! Advance, helped Columbia University set a new record for the amount raised on its Giving Day, totaling $20.1M<\/a>. Meanwhile, I helped Snap! advance onward in its commitment to give back to programs no matter the size.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s enough to make one smile and take paws.<\/p>\n

Snap Raise! Successful Fundraising<\/h2>\n

In 2018 alone we raised nearly $100 million for youth sports teams, fine and performing arts programs, academic and STEM clubs, and beyond. That\u2019s nearly $100 million to help tennis teams get new tennis balls, soccer teams get new soccer balls, and journalism clubs get new ballpoint pens.<\/p>\n

I’m not the best at math, because I’m a dog, but that much money would buy about 10 million bags of my favorite treats.<\/p>\n

No matter how much growth we\u2019ve had as a company, I know I speak for the team when I say that\u00a0we are all here because we want to help.<\/a><\/p>\n
